This research delivers a conceptual reconstruction of the
trajectory of concepts used to mark qualitative differences among
identities from the 16th to the 21st century in central Europe and
the Americas. The surplus lies in the inclusion of colonial history
in the genealogy of Western political thought and ideas, as well as
in the postcolonial discussion of multiculturalism. The manuscript
deals with the power and authority of translation providing the
reader with an insight into the history of colonial racism through
a deep conceptual analysis of three historical debates that have
not been previously discussed together. By linking the so-called
“Indian Question”, the “Jewish Question” and the
multicultural question, this thesis includes a valuable critical
revision of the origins of Humanism in colonial times and contexts
and an original critique to the power and violence of language in
ma(r)king differences, which is described in terms of translation.
This thesis was selected among the three best dissertations in
critical social thinking of the year 2019 by the Rosa Luxemburg
Stiftung.
